Proton joins suit against Apple for practices that harm developers and consumers
Apple's anti-competitive App Store policies are gouging consumers, enabling censorship, and harming privacy-focused developers. We're joining a lawsuit to restore internet freedom.
Challenging one of the most powerful corporations in the history of capitalism is not a decision we make lightly, but Proton has long championed online freedom, privacy, and security, and we believe this action is necessary to ensure the internet of the future lives up to its potential. Furthermore, in a bid to prevent data portability, competing cloud storage services like Proton Drive are unable to seamlessly do background processing, while no such restrictions are known to exist for iCloud. Breaking this monopoly and ending this punitive tax on the internet would allow companies like Proton to collect payments via less expensive methods, enabling the option to pass these savings on to you, and ultimately reducing the prices you pay.
